Legend of Krishna Janmashtami:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Krishna<\/strong> is considered as the eighth and the most powerful incarnation of Lord Vishnu. And the supreme objective of Lord Krishna\u2019s birth was to save the world from the sinfulness of demons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As per Hindu mythology, Sri Krishna was born in prison to Devaki and her husband, King Vasudeva of the Yadava clan. During this time, Mathura was under the rule of an evil king named Kansa who was Krishna\u2019s maternal uncle. It was predicted that wicked Kansa would be killed by Devaki\u2019s eighth child. Krishna was their eighth child and all the seven children who were born to them were killed by Kansa. Vasudeva, who knew that Krishna\u2019s life is in danger, took the baby to Gokul and hand over him to foster parents, Yashoda and Nand, thus saved him from King Kansa. Krishna when grown-up fulfilled the sole objective of his life by killing Kansa. Hence, the Janmashtami Festival marks the victory of good over evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
